How Port Sunlight Village appears
In series two, as the family's money grows, Polly moves into a smarter house away from the back streets of Small Heath. Its exterior was filmed in Port Sunlight, the Victorian model village built by Lever Brothers for its soap-factory workers on the Wirral. In the story the house is in Birmingham. The village's half-timbered cottages, wide greens and tree-lined avenues gave the production an instantly different, better-off look from Watery Lane, which is the point the scene is making about Polly's new life.
The real place
What you can visit
Port Sunlight is still a lived-in village, and the house used for Polly's home is a private residence that this guide does not identify. Visitors are welcome to walk the public streets and greens and to visit Port Sunlight Museum on King George's Drive, which tells the story of the village and runs its own history walks. Those walks are about the village, not Peaky Blinders. The Lady Lever Art Gallery is also in the village. Allow an hour or two and keep a respectful distance from homes.
People live here. Photograph the village scene from the public pavement, not individual front doors, and do not try to find Polly's house.
Liverpool Film Office: Peaky Blinders locations ↗Port Sunlight station on the Merseyrail Wirral line is a short walk from the village centre, about 20 minutes from Liverpool. There is parking near the museum and the gallery. Streets are level with pavements throughout. Check museum and gallery opening days before you travel.
Common questions
Planning a responsible visit
Can I see Polly's house in Port Sunlight?
The house is a private home and is not identified here. You can enjoy the village streets and greens from public paths, which give the same period character seen on screen.
Is there a Peaky Blinders tour of Port Sunlight?
No official one. Port Sunlight Museum runs village history walks, which are a good way to understand the place but are not about the series.
How do I get to Port Sunlight from Liverpool?
Take the Merseyrail Wirral line to Port Sunlight station. The journey is short and the village centre is a few minutes' walk away.
